Swimming

Freshman Adrian VanderHelm became the first SFU male swimmer to earn All-American status at the NCAA Division II national championship last Thursday. He achieved second place at the 200-yard freestyle, after being disqualified for the individual medley for a uniform logo violation the previous day.

Lacrosse

SFU Lacrosse finished their five-game road trip with a three-game losing streak in Arizona. After dropping a 14–8 result to the University of Arizona on March 5, they lost back-to-back games on March 8 and 9 to Colorado State and Chapman University. The 11–2 loss against Chapman was SFU’s lowest scoring game this season.
